A dialogue concerning the essence and role of information in the world system

Abstract:

The goal of this paper is to represent two approaches to the phenomenon of information, explicating its nature and essence. In this context, Mark Burgin demonstrates how the general theory of information (GTI) describes and elucidates the phenomenon of information by explaining the axiomatic foundations for information studies and presenting the comprising mathematical theory of information. The perspective promoted by Jaime F. Cárdenas-García is based on Gregory Bateson's description of information as "difference which makes a difference" and involves the process of info-autopoiesis as a sensory commensurable, self-referential feedback process.
